But you will miss things, every now and then, when it is apt. Be
nice if one did not have to dive in to preferences to toggle this
on and off. Perhaps some browsers have this feature (like Opera
has a "show images/no images" icon button). I am impressed by
John Hosking's "web-beautification" point but not too keen for
people to miss out on my own superb uses for the occasional js
pop up facility.
